    know what it was.
    It was in the form of a lion, but when it came near them it seemed to change, and it was in the shape of a man. With the excitement they got afraid and ran away. It never was touched afterwards. This story is true but it happened over a hundred years ago and the pot of gold may be there yet for all we know.
